The main purpose of link-frequencies is to restrict the link frequencies 
acceptable in the system due to EMI requirements. One link frequency should be 
selected in the array based on the desired format and frame rate. This is 
usually done by exposing the frequency to userspace through a writable 
V4L2_CID_LINK_FREQ control, and exposing the resulting pixel rate as a read-
only V4L2_CID_PIXEL_RATE control.

V4L2_CID_PIXEL_RATE is mandatory to use the sensor with several drivers 
(including omap3isp and omap4iss), so it should really be implemented.
